What's wrong with the SE ROM??

After downloading Jeff Summer's rom (.exe file), I tried clicking on it to extract the files...no good.
Then I used Winzip and extracted to C:\windows\temp.
Next I click on start.bat and the dos window comes up stating NBF directory not in the C:\windows\temp directory?
I move the nbf file to this directory and the uprgrade process starts.
Next I get Error 012
"Rom image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your Pocket PC.
Your device
ModelW10B1
Rom version 3.14
Lang: english
Your upgraded image information:
ModelW10A1
Rom version 3.17
Lang: english
Please download comaptible utility."
What the hell went wrong??
:? :?

Sound like you extracted everything in one directory instead of in the directories mentioned in the self-extracting exe. Or something similar.

Not exactly. Here's what I did as best as I can remember.
When I clicked on the .exe file, a dos box opened, gave me an error message that it could not find the nbf directory.
Then I used winzip to extract the files into the same directoy as the .exe file.
From there I tried running the start.bat file. Still no good.
What finally worked was a strange combination of clicking on the .exe file and then immediately clicking on start.bat. This was after I moved the nbf file from the \english subdirectory to the subdirectory that had the .exe file.
It was a strange work around, but it work and the rom loaded and seems to work well.

I am getting the same problem here but I havent been able to work around it. I tried what worked for you without success.

XDA tools nearly there but can't understand, any help plse

I have installed jeff summers version of xda tools. And though I think I understand what I am doing I am not totally convinced. Before I embark on cooking roms and upgrading etc I would like to be able to do the following:
1: Dump my current rom from my device to my PC I can do this using XDAtools OSImage but can only Can this only be NB1(windows CE(*.nb1) type files if I try to call this NBF I get the following error:
error opening C:\program files\xdatools\bootloader_v5_15.nb0ea for reading. the system cannot find the file specified.
error opening source bootloader from C:\program files\xdatools\bootloader_v5_15.nb0ea. error opening target device.
Can I dump my device memory into a file called ‘xxxx.NBF’?
2: When I try to upgrade my ROM by:
Start OSImage tool and select source as:
‘C:\PROGRAM FILES\XDATOOLS\BINARIES\ATT160204.NB1’
Select destination as ‘device memory (via programmeA) ‘
When attempting to load an ‘NB1’ ROM from my PC to my device memory (via programmeA) I always get the following message:
ProgrammeA not found - run with --register error opening target device.
I originally ran the programmeA with --register when first installed.
I have tried searching for a solution but to no avail. Any help appreciated.
Thanks John.

If you're trying to burn your original ROM back to the device that shouldn't be a problem. Use the [...] button to locate your .nb1 ROM for the source, and select Device Memory (via Programme A) as your destination.
Have you installed ProgrammeA.exe into the binaries folder of XDATools? That's the only thing I can think of.

Thanks I have tried this but believe the problem is the ProgrammeA file but it is definetly in the binaries folder. I am running win98SE but don't think this should be a problem. When you run jeffs tools it extracts itself out under program files and places all the required files in the right directories. Would appreciate it if any one out there can supply some help ?
Thanks John

I think I know what the problem is...
I have the same problem. If you look at the dos box that pops up you see that programmeA.exe looks in to the \\Binaries\English\ folder for a *.nbf file. It looks like you will have to provide it a *.nbf file in stead of a *.nb1

Compressed Folder is Invalid or Corrupted

I just tried to download the SETHSDPAv2.zip file and got the above error message. Did anyone else have the same problem?
